  • Guess the Bass -- Volume 5!
    Aug 29 2023

    It's a rare thing for us to have back to back episodes on the same topic, but we couldn't resist. It was time to put Reg through his guessing paces and see if he could get his overall GTB score up. He's been watching the other episodes, and honing his questioning skills. Can he do it this time? He really needs it to get his average up, and Jet's eager to see him do it. It's a fun time and a good chance for you to see if you can best Reg and guess the bass Jet is playing before it's revealed.

Jet answers the questions and plays the bass for him, but can Reg come up with the right questions? Can he do it this time? He's 1 for 3 so far in the series, can he get his average up to 50%? A lovely dinette set, and a live seal, are up for grabs if he can. Join the competition and see if you can guess the bass before Reg does.

  • Gristle King VS D&M Drive . . . Which Is a Better Pedal?
    Aug 2 2023

    Overdrive and boost in the same pedal is really useful. Awesome in fact. Being able to switch the order of them is even better. Way better. Having some famous folks associated with the pedal is icing on the cake. Today Jet and Jason compare and contrast 2 different Signature drive/boost pedals, the D&M Drive from Keeley, co-designed and endorsed by Dan and Mick from That Pedal Show, and the Gristle King by Jauernig pedals, made to the specs of the famous Greg Koch. With lots of control and flexibility, these two pedals take guitar tone to the heights of playability, but in surprisingly different ways. If you thought all gain pedals are basically the same, check out this tone test to change your mind. The guys use P90s, Humbuckers and Single Coils with a Belle Epoch delay and spring reverb to make sure all avenues are explored in this fun and informative shootout.

    For information on the D&M Drive, please visit https://robertkeeley.com/product/dm-drive/

  • All-Pedal Macrodose Envelope Filter Review
    Jul 22 2023

    OK, this one is a trippy, drippy, does-more-than-you-would-think sorta guitar pedal. Jet and Reg take the All-Pedal Macrodose to task with a Huber Krautster II and an Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive amp, and the results are fanstastic! It's hard to believe one pedal can create all these sounds. Phasery, filtery, laser-fight goodness . . . there's just no way to describe the "trip" the guys take with this amazing box o' fun. Join us for the ever changing sounds of knob twisting on our way to the nether regions of space and time . . .

  • Pedalboard Contenders, Episode 1
    Jul 15 2023

    Jet and Reg are at it again, this time with a new pedalboard in their sights. Question is, what to put on it? It's gonna take more than one show to figure that out! But they gotta start somewhere, so it was off to the pedal shelves to find some contenders. Two distortions, a phaser and a polyphonic octave machine with bonus goodies sounds like a great place to get the ball rolling. It's episode 1 of the new series, "Pedalboard Contenders". Join the boys for some fun and experimentation as they run these pedals through the ringer for your enjoyment. A Huber and an Amplified Nation amp complete the rig for the day. Things are going to get interesting, and they're certain to be entertaining!

  • The Car Collection for Guitar Players!
    Jun 10 2023

    The VVCO pedal reviews we've done on Gear 'n Gigs have been some of our favorites. Then Reg had an idea... A parking lot made from VVCO guitar pedals. It took a while, but Jet and his daughter managed to pull it off. A usable, practical floor board of sonic goodness that looks like a Hollywood vehicle reunion. . . the world's first pedal board parking lot! The planet's most famous cars dishing out some great effects. Clean boost from the Batmobile, SRV style overdrive in the Bandit's Trans Am, Distortion ala Rat hidden in Starsky & Hutch's Gran Torino, a killer chorus that solves mysteries with Scooby and the gang, an Earthquaker Depths inside Mr. T's van, Doc and Marty and the flying Delorean giving out great delay, while the Ghostbusters provide the haunting reverb. Headlights, tail lights, even street lights...this is a complete diorama of tone. Pardon the pun when we say, "C'mon along for the ride!"

    If you are interested in buying a pedal from VVco, feel free to use our exclusive Gear 'n Gigs Discount Code on their website and get an extra 5% off the retail price. code: Gear'nGigs5

  • Who Needs a Pedalboard? We Review a JAM Multipedal from their Custom Shop!
    Jun 1 2023

    If you're into guitar effects, you probably already know that JAM pedals are all hand built and painted in Greece, from top notch components. They are also all analog, with amazing quality and incredible capabilities. Jet and Reggie have a JAM Multipedal in the studio today, with 10...count them, 10 (!) ....of these supreme tone twisting machines built into one box. No wires, one power supply, no pedalboard needed. Listen along as the guys put a Fender Strat through this hand-painted musical monster from the JAM Custom Shop and review all 10 pedals for you. Overdrives, compressor, fuzzes, Vibe, Tremelo, Chorus, Phaser, Delay....it's all in there and they play them all so you can hear how they sound, individually and combined. Psychedelic sounds will be heard to go along with the killer "Monterey" inspired finish. If you like guitar pedals, you need to hear this review!

  • Which of the Lightweight Bass Heads is the best?
    May 24 2023

    Jet and Reggie pit 3 heavy hitting but light weight bass amp heads against each other in this low frequency shootout to determine which one steals the show. Will it be the Mesa Boogie Subway D-800, the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, or the Euphonic Audio iAmp Micro? Each has plenty of volume, with the wattage to move some serious air (the power range for these amps is 350-800 watts). Each features a class D power section, so they are almost as easy to move around as a pedal. Each has a powerful preamp section, with tons of tone-shaping goodness on tap. But they have very different strengths, as it turns out, and all of them are good enough to make the final decision difficult for our intrepid heroes. They'll put both a vintage P-bass with flatwound strings and a vintage Rickenbacker 4003 with roundwounds through all 3 amps in a direct comparison so you can decide with them. Put on some headphones and come along for the ride!
